If you have any of these in your area, you might consider asking to rent larger pieces of furniture. While you won’t always be successful at this, if you find something that would fit your needs, it doesn’t hurt to ask. If you don’t want to rent furniture, some experts suggest using cardboard furniture for a comparatively lower cost.
